While his blitz and bullet ratings hover around moderate levels (763 blitz peak, 625 bullet peak), rapid chess shines a little brighter with a peak rating of 681. Not afraid of a challenge, Abraham's bullet win rate is a robust 55%, proving speed isn't always the enemy of accuracy.

Playing Style and Tactics

Known for a slightly stubborn streak in the endgame (played in more than half of all games), Abraham prefers lengthy battles, averaging over 49 moves per win. His resilience shines with an impressive 70% comeback rate, proving he’s never out of the fight until the king falls. However, he occasionally suffers from "tilt moments" (tilt factor 8), reminding us all that even chess warriors have a bad day.

Favorite Openings

Abraham shows affection to the classic King's Pawn Opening and its various incarnations, including the Kings Knight Variation and Leonardis Variation — though his winning streak in these is a tough climb. The Scotch Game seems to treat him well with a balanced 50% win rate in dailies, and the Philidor Defense is a mixed bag but still a trusty weapon in blitz, boasting nearly 57% wins.

Recent Battles

Abraham's most recent victory was a textbook checkmate in a daily game reflecting his knack for relentless attack and precision timing:

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 Bb4+ 4. c3 Ba5 5. Bc4 Nh6 6. Ng5 exd4 7. Qb3 f6 8. Bf7+ Nxf7 9. Nxf7 Qe7 10. Nxh8 Qxe4+ 11. Kf1 d6 12. Qf7+ Kd8 13. Bd2 d3 14. Be3 Bh3 15. gxh3 Qxh1#
    

Not bad for a player who started the game at a rating under 820!
